“Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known” (Jeremiah 33:3 ESV).

As a writer, there are times my mind feels as empty as the blank screen or page before me. Though I hold in my heart the call to write God’s messages, the only thing I sometimes manage is a good grasp of the pen or hovering fingers over a keyboard. I wait but nothing. Not a single word.

I’m not going to lie. My heart’s been saddened since last May 25th–when one man kneeled for 9-minutes on the neck of another, and the world hasn’t been the same.

Sometimes I find solace in writing a letter. Such is therapy for me, but perhaps it will also benefit another.

I can only hope and pray it somehow brings a bit of peace to a hurting, broken world that’s turned upside down.

After all, hope is what we have.
